    pictures of my babies

    This is my youngest baby, Phred. He is a normal (I assume) who loves to climb.

    This is my oldest, Matilda. I think she is a normal, but I don't know for sure (I'm a newbie, so I don't get all of the differe. I am including a few pics of her because she has so much white on her.

    If those of you who are "experts" think Matilda is anything but normal, let me know, cause I am a bit confused by all the white.

    Oh, also, I wish I knew how to post the pictures where you can just see them and not have to click on the links, but I am not sure how to do that on this site yet. I will explore and try to figure it out.

    Matilda is 170g and Phred is only 66g. I think I am becoming addicted to these babies though! Love them as much as I love my dogs and that is saying something!!!!

    Thanks Slim!!! I had assumed so, but like I said, I have not seen any pictures of normals with that much white! And let me tell you, she is the sweetest little girl that I have ever seen. These are my first snakes of any kind and I have never thought of snakes as "snuggly" or "lovey" but there is no other way to describe her. She enjoys being held and like to get up in my face (LOL). Of course, she also likes to get into my clothes, but usually snuggle right where my heart is beating. If I open her cage, she climbs right into my hand usually and then fights not to go back in, but never tries to get away. The picture of her between my legs, she was watching television with me for like 20 minutes!!! I don't know if that's normal or if she's just that comfortable with me, but I adore both of them!!!!

    I also like Normals with that type of white pinstriping along the darker patterned areas. Almost all of the ones I've seen like that, hold that white nicely into adulthood, and it often gets better with time.

    She just finished shedding (yesterday as a matter of fact) and is only 170g. The white is much more pronounced now, that is why I was not really sure about the normal genetic type. I simply LOVE it. I actually like the normal coloring better than all of the morph colorings.

    Matilda is so pretty. Love the pattern on her and how her alien heads have very few "eyes" My twix is similar in the lack of "eyes" department. Love it!
